Sons cf Kaiser Become Models
of Self-Effacement.

Former Royal Family Eliminated Def.
initely From German Rule—Even if

Form of Government No Member of
the Former Kaiser’s Family Would
Be Considered for Job of Ruler—
Parade Days Arc Gone.
Royal pencockory os It appears in
fierinany today is a first-class study
in self-effacement. It must he remem
bered that they are all there—all those
princes and dukes and counts and
barons wlio-.e names before the war
were sprinkled copiously over the
journals of many eapituls. In the old
days they were received everywhere.
Hostesses were glad to jret them. They
were distinguished, good talkers and
made excellent dinner party material.
Then, too, the names always looked
well in the society columns. And now
that no mention of them is seen, even
iu .lie fatherland, it is only natural
to wonder what lias become of them
and how they are assimilating the
principles of life under democratic
rule.
fine day early in 1920 I went with
a friend into Pelzer’s restaurant, in
None Wilhelmstrusse, where one can
have uncensored drinks at uncensored
hours. Alongside me at the liar, (Jor
don Stiles writes In the New York
Tribune, stood a tail, somewhat dys
peptic-looking hid!' iduul, who obvious
ly took a great Interest in our English
conversation. Ills general appearance
was that of an Englishman. He had
the trailing, horseshoe mustache of
the Rriton and the [link roundness
which no amount of starvation cun
knock out of the German was missing.
Yet there were about him certain
undeninble Teutonic characteristics.
His speech was that of a German aris-
locrat and when at times lie forsook
the support of the bar his manner and
carriage became purely Prussian.
I asked him to have a drink with
me. And he took me up.
Is the Kaiser’s Nephew.
“Do you know who dot feller iss?"
asked the bartender, after my late
companion disappeared.
“No," I said. "Who Is he?"
“Dot iss Prinz Albert von Schleswig-
Holstein. lie's der nephew of tier
kaiser by marriage . He ain't got no
money no more. He lose it all iu der
war.”
“How does he live?”
“Oh, dose fellers alvnys lifs. Tie
got a onke! wlint's a duke—der Duke
von Schleswig-Holstein. He's der
bruddcNn-lnw of der kaiser an' lie got
plenty money, lie gif I’rlnz Albert
some, I tink."
Ernst Gunther, duke of Schleswig-
Holstein, and brother of the late
kais -rin. !« the son of Duke Frederick.
Despite tin loss of his northern es
tate. he is wealthy. He makes ids
home in his magnificent castle In
SilesiH and haves it only on simh oc
casions as business requires his pres
ence in Roll'll).
The duke is a man of medium height,
stookily |.,,ilt and erect In currluge.
His white hair and heard—aided some
what by golii-rimmed eyeglasses <ui a
chain—gave ldtn a distinguished and
Kuhsiantlnl a pi caraneg. He uses Ills
glasses lno-tly for gesturing purposes,
through the medium of the right hand.
Well, ns I remarked above, the duke
was full of troubles when 1 first saw
him He felt that lie was the victim of
a rough deal In connection with ids
Schleswig-Holstein property. Under
the plebiscite terms all property
owned by the reigning family or by
any person who might he in line for
the throne was slated for confiscation.
Aiul the duke felt that not only was
lie being treated unfairly by the al
lied [lowers, hut declared lie had been
tricked by the Danish government.
Ilis contention was that ids estate
came in the category of private prop
erty owned t v a private Individual
and inasmuch as it laid been an
nounced that such property would lie
respected, he protested vigorously
against the [lending confiscation.
in the old days tlie duke was wont
to travel with a host of retainers and
whole floors at the smartest hotels
of many cities were engaged far in
advance. Now lie contents liiinself
with one secretary and Ids goings and
comings are as unostentatious as pos
sible.
Kaiser’s Sons Muzzled.
Strange us it may seem, less is
seen and heard of the kaiser's three
sons remaining in Germany than of
other royalty. I think 1 discovered
tlie explanation of this during a pro
tracted effort to Interview Eitel Fried
rich. It was explained that, while the
prince might not object to expressing
his views on current affairs, lie virtual
ly hud been ordered by tin* socialist
government to keep Ids mouth shut.
He had been told that ns long ns lie
did so he would he unmolested, but
that If tie started airing his opinions
for pulilh'ntlon lie would lie placed
nnder survidlli.nee at once and kept
there.
As a matter of fact, 1 do not think
Eltel’s opinions would lie worth much,
anyway A fat, flabby body is topped
off liy a red, flabby face, which inis
ahout the same amount of expression
us a chestnut slab. As near us 1 can
make out. Ids entire repertoire consists
of enring. sleeping, drinking and at
tending church on Sunday.
Adalbert nnd Oscar also live in
I’ntsdnin. hut are seldom seen outside
a small circle of intimates. Sometimes
one or the other ‘of them slips into
Reriin for u day. hut he <h es it without
tin* sounding of trumpets and without
notifying the communist leaders of Ids
intentions.
They are wire In avoiding the pro
letariat ns much as possible, because
the Holiei.zollern family has been
elimlnnled definitely from German
rule. Even if the country ndopted u
monnrchlul form of government, the
people's choice of a legent would not
fall upon any member of the late
reigning family. Rut it is safe to say
that outside of Prussia, 85 per cent
of the people wish nothing more to do
with kings and emperors. The picture
of tlie kaiser slipping over tlie Dutch
frontier, leaving ids army in (lie lurch
and avoiding the subsequent sufferings
which Germany has undergone while
he lived in comfort, is still fresh in
(lie mind of the ordinary German. i
U[ion the attitude of the masses ex-
royalty turns a haughty and more or |
less amused eye. Adversity lias not I
lost to princes and dukes tlie power I
of looking at their alleged inferiors |
in a manner coid, crushing and con
temptuous. The look seems to say,
"Poor fools! Can't you see that we
are only biding our time?” They poke
fun at tlie efforts of tlie socialists to
govern the country and appear to
feel that a system more to their lik
ing is bound to come ahout in time.
A Pseudo-Democrat.
Prince Keuss lias plenty of money,"
derived from large land holdings in
south Germany, and most of his time
since 1918 has been spent in the gay
est resorts of Reriin. I constantly
ran upon him in such places ns tlie
Palais de Danse, tlie Hotel Adlon and
the exclusive haunts with which Kur-
furstendnmm is lined.
Generally he is accompanied by a
bejeweled woman and drinks great
quantities of champagne. Rut at that
lie always appears bored and aimless
—as if depressed l>y the futility of
life. In common with ninny ex-imper
ial officers, Reuss served for a time
in tlie Noske guard, not because he
sympathized with the government, hut
because lie knew that the success of
the radicals would puncture any mon-
archistic bubble which might lie in
tlie blowing. He was in command of
the armored cars when tho Rolsheviki
were routed In Magdeburg and Braun
schweig.
Just before Prince Reuss left the
Noske guard he invited me to lie his
first guest at a new apartment which
lie had lilted up near Bnyeriseherplatz,
and I went out for coffee one after
noon.
Suddenly he jumped to his feet
“Would you like to see my peace-time
uniform?” he said. Almost before 1
had told him yes lie was out of the I
room. Ten minutes later he rattled I
into my presence in a perfect blaze I
of glory. While tunic, trimmed with
scarlet. Shiny black riding hoots, jing
ling spurs nnd jeweled sword, lie
was complete and the uniform was
magnificent. Its wearer stamped up
and down, looking like another man.
Parade Days Gone.

photograph gallery and Ids voice
dropped and filled with emotion sis
lie continued. “Rut it’s gone; it’s all
gone. What are we now in this green
stuff v.e wear? We look like a Il
ian: circus!" He finished with a
contemptuous smile.
Prince Reuss has a rous.'n. Prince

the e..o;mreliy, developed Into one of
tlie weirdest characters in Berlin. In
fuel, so weird d'tl tie become that last
year lie took up ids abode In a sana
torium where they keep folks under
mild restraint, nnd he still is there,
so far us I know.
Hohenlohe up i<> lust summer was a
familiar figure at Berlin’s fancy gath
ering places. Once seen he is not
forgotten. He is very tall, with no
particular breadth, ami wears elegant
clothes.
Having on an occasion an opportun
ity to s’eer his highness up ngains. the
despised proletariat, I picked one of
tlie low spots, a little restaurant dnnee
Imll, tlie proprietress of which was
a little red-haired woman, whose
name was Mary. Slip once kept a sail
ors' I riling house In (lie Argentine,
and I think it unnecessary to say
more.
In an aside to Mary I explained tho
rank of mv companion and then intro
duced him. lie stiffened up, clicked
iiis heels together, nnd Mary curtsied
so low '.lint I thought she never would
rise again. But she made it and later
pulled herself together sufficiently to
superintend tlie cooking of some of the
best food to be had In Berlin. That
was how the prince came to eat.
The wine was good and after awhile
the prince asked Mary to dance. She
returned from the floor breathless and
flustered. “Ach," she said, "to think
i lint little Mary has danced with a
prince! Just to think of it!" As for
the prince, it was such a treat to see
him going through tin* rollicking nnd
devastating German foxtrot nnd stnr-
Ing at Ids partner with the same look
which lie might Imve bestowed upon
hiu executioner, come to lead him to
tlie gallows.
There Is a distinct difference be
tween 1 he attitude of German men to
ward ex-royalty nnd German women.
Tlie former appear to find a grim snt-
isfaction in the downfall of their
former superiors. The lntler show ev
idences of a feeling of pity. Tlie av
erage girl Is liattered by any atten
tions bestowed upon her by crushed
royalty.

CARVING IS WORTH $125,000
Mount Athos Artcraft Work of Fivs

of Christ.
New Y'ork.—A wood curving valued
at $125,000 placed on public view, bus
been in tlie window of a Fifth avenue

Adrian, .Mich., adds her
testimony to tho valuo
of Lydia id. Pink hum’s
Yojret'-ijilo Compound
“It is with pleasure that I write to you thanking you for what your
wonderful medicjr.e has done for me. I was passing through the Change of
Life and had a displacement and weakness so that l could not stand on my
feet and other annoying symptoms. A friend told me about Lydia E. Pink,
ham’s Vegetable Compound an i the first, bottle helped l.m. so I got more.
It cured me and I am now doing piv housework. Your medicine is certainly
woman’s friend and you may use this testimonial as you choose.”—Mrs. Mary
Lister, 608 Frank Street, Adrian, Midi.
It is said that middle age i t the most trying period in a woman’s life, and
owing to modern methods of living not one woman in a thousand passes through
this perfectly natural change without exp ericncing very annoying symptoms.
Those smothering epc!!a, the dreadful hot flashes that seircl the blood rushing
to the head until it seems a3 though it would burst, and the faint feeling that
follows, as if the heart were going to stop, those sinking or dizzy spellsare all
symptoms of a nervous condition, and indicate the need for a special medicine.
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound ia a root and herb medicine espe
cially adapted to act upon the feminine system. It acts in sucli a manner
as to build up tlio weakened nervous system and enables a woman to paBs
this trying period v/ith the least, possible annoying symptoms.
Women everywhere should remember that most cf the commoner ailments
of women are not tlie sunrical ones—they Are not caused by serious displace
ments or growths, although the symptoms may be thesnme, and that is why
so many apparently serious ailments readily yield to Lydia E. Pinkham’j
Vegetable Compound, as it acts as a natural rcctorotivc and often prevents
serious troubles.

liar to Women” will be sent to you free upon request. AY rite
